The church was designed by Canadian architect Napoléon Bourassa in the Romanesque Revival style. Construction began in 1891, and was supervised by Fall River architect Louis G. Destremps.

The exterior was completed in June 1904 and the new church was formally dedicated on July 4, 1906. The church's school was established in the 1880s, with the first classes in the church basement. The new school building opened in 1925, and the school closed in 2007. It is now the Julien F. Paul Campus of the Atlantic Charter Middle School. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. |
